Watch SKU complexity

Too many curls, diameters and length mixes can make the first launch hard to manage. A focused SKU list is easier to photograph, label, ship and reorder.

bulk order risk: buyer notes

bulk order risk should be reviewed before a starter brand increases quantity. The buyer should compare approved samples, SKU count, packaging proof, barcode needs, carton labels and reorder timing.

A safer file separates test stock from launch stock. Keep only proven tray styles in repeat production, and leave new curls, diameters or packaging versions in sample review until feedback is clear.
